Ginger Tea with Lemon and Honey

This ginger tea with lemon and honey recipe was given to me by my Nana. I love how comforting the smell and taste of this delicious drink is (and how it tickles my tongue!). Ginger has amazing healing properties (there’s a reason flat ginger ale helps settle upset stomachs) so this tea is great to make during cold and flu season.

If you like your tea sweeter, just add more honey! This tea is delicious served either warm or steaming hot but for a refreshing summer drink, serve over ice with a little soda and a slice of lemon for fizzy alternative to lemonade!
